-
Use a coin or spudger to rotate the battery-locking screw 90 degrees clockwise.
-
-
-
Remove the three evenly-spaced Phillips screws from along the rear wall of the battery compartment.
-
-
-
Lift up on L-shaped memory cover, slide it to the right, and lift it out of the computer.
-
-
-
Remove the following 3 screws:
-
One 11 mm Phillips #00 in the middle of the case.
-
Two 14.5 mm Phillips #00.
-
-
-
Remove the following 3 screws from the rear wall of the battery compartment:
-
Two 3 mm Phillips #00. (A1181 has three 3 mm screws and one 4 mm.)
-
One 4 mm Phillips #00 on the right side.
-
-
-
Remove the two 6 mm Phillips #00 screws from either side of the right wall of the battery compartment (not the ones closest to the battery connector).
-
-
-
Remove the four 3 mm indicated Phillips #00 screws from the front wall of the battery compartment. When working from the left, remove the 2nd, 4th, 7th and 9th screw.

Two 7 mm shouldered Phillips on the far sides.

Starting near the display and working around to the front of the computer, pry up on the upper case. It is held with clips on the right above the optical drive. These will release with some firm lifting pressure.
-
Be careful when prying up the upper case. It's very easy to slice open a fingertip and thus provide the blood sacrifice the Mac gods sometimes require of those who insist on doing their own repairs.
-
-
-
While holding up the upper case (from the bottom or the top), use a spudger to pry up the orange trackpad and keyboard cable from its connector.
-
-
-
Grasp the white plastic tab attached to the hard drive and pull it to the left, removing the hard drive from the computer.
-
-
-
Disconnect the newly-revealed display data cable. If there is no pull-tab on the top of the connector, it may be helpful to use a spudger to disconnect this connector.
-
-
-
-
Peel up the foil tape between the fan and the optical drive.

Remove the 8.5 mm Phillips screw securing the display data cable to the metal framework.

-
-
-
Lift the front edge of the optical drive and slide it up and out of the computer.
-
-
-
Remove the following 3 screws:
-
Two 3 mm Phillips near the right speaker.

One 6 mm Phillips threaded through a hole in a plastic finger above the subwoofer.
-
-
-
Using a spudger, gently pry up the white plastic slot and slide the metal c-channel to the right and away from the display.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to carefully disconnect the microphone cable from the logic board. You'll want to work from side to side, and slowly wiggle the connector out of its socket.
-
-
-
Lift up on the black right speaker cable with one hand, and deroute the silver microphone cable from the silver metal clip just above the right RAM slot.
-
-
-
Deroute the silver microphone cable and gray display data cable from the tabs at the bottom of the subwoofer.

-
-
Remove the single 3.2 mm Phillips screw securing the ground loop in the display data cable located just above the Bluetooth board.

-
Use a thin plastic card to release the tabs and their clips holding the front display bezel to the display assembly. There are five tabs along the left side of the display bezel.
-
-
-
Lift up the front display bezel from the top and use your plastic card to free the tabs along the bottom edge of the display bezel.
-
After freeing all holding tabs, lift the front display bezel away from the display assembly.
-
-
-
Use a metal spudger or another thin tool to carefully pry the gray plastic clips off the tabs molded into the front display bezel. A 0.8mm flat screwdriver may be useful for this step. You may find that it's easier to remove some of these clips by prying up on their long sides.

Everything went very smoothly! It also took this beginner a minimum of 4 hours. (It was 6 hours total including some breaks.) The suggestion to use an ice cube tray for screws was a lifesaver. I labeled the compartments with post-it notes.
The required tool list is accurate. I'd also recommend tweezers, the soft blue case-opening tools for getting the keyboard assembly free, electrical tape for when a single use piece of tape doesn't want to be reused, and canned air and a screen-cleaning kit for getting the grunge off parts as you go.
This worked very well for me, fantastic guide; Bit of a problem re penryn but solved Ok . Macbook screen working again !! Thank you very much
